In North (ar.olina the railroads have agreed tosubmit to the 21 mile rate, to selltickets at that price, Atnd meanwhilethey appeal on the ground that therate is confiscatory. We do not knowwhether it is or not. Neitlier doesthe North Carolina legislature know.The North Carolira lejislature doesnot know whether the Laurens Advertiser can afford to sell advertisingapace at 2j cents an inch or not.Whenever the Sauth Carolina legislature concludes to pass an act limiting the Advertiser to 2j cents an inchrate they can take the paper and runit themselvesMeantime, reduction in railroadpassenger fares helps only a part ofthe people. It helps the drummer,who spends $500 a year for railroadtickets. It helps the manufacturer,wbo spends $500 for tickets Ithelps the well-to-do man, who spends$200 a year sending his family to themountains or to the seashore for thesummer and who sends h1s boys andgirls to college. It helps the lawyerswho go to the supreme court threeuir four timee a year and it helpqthemerchants who go to New York forgoods twice a year. Half the peoplespend not over $5 or $10 a year inrailroad riding and nearly half, thepoorer woomen and children scatteread about on the farms, don't ride onthe railroads at all. Reductions inpassenger fares may save a cottonmill operative $2 a year, but it will.4ave the cotton mill president $200 ayear. Isn't that so?A cut of one-third in freight rateswould help everybody; that would be"special privileges to none," and -qualassistance to the balance of mankiud,hut the cut in passenger fares, towhich the politicians are devoting alltheir time, will lelp tho drummermost and will be of considerablecomfort to the preachers, especiallythe colored preachers, who are thegreatest travelers that this countryprod aces.But, when they slash freight rates.wildly and deeply, not knowing whatthey are doing, they will force therailroads into the bands of receiverr.That would be excellent for the lawyers. The legislature will, if theyperseveri, put the railroads out of l'u.siness. Then the United States government will buy them at auctionand operate them. Conductors andengineers will be chosen by civil ser-'vice examination.Our complaint is that the railroadsdo not give good service. They oughtto he compelled, gradually, by law, toabolish grade crossing, to put Pull.man cars on more trains, to keepclean towels on band in day'cars, thecars to be regularly and frequentlycleaned and, first and above all, theyought to be forced to keep theirtracks and trestles ini the best possible condition, to install block system and every other device looking tomore safety, to pay wages that willcommand the service of the most reliable and nompetent men and tooverwork none of their employes;they should be compelled to run theirtrains on schedule, If the schedulesare too fast, lot them be slower, butrun the trains according to theschedules.We do not see bow improvementsare to be had by cutting down thepassenger fares. It would be betterto compel the railroads to give firstclass service even if it were necessaryto -pay 5 cents a mile for it. Thepeople should have safety first andcomfort on the railroad cars, regardless of what they cost.-[LaurensAdvertiser.THE MAGIO NO. 8.Number three is a wonderful mascotfor Geo. H.

But'it can becured and without any marvelousnostrums by observing a few important rules of health. The dyspepticmust first fix in his mind the factthat his ailment is the result of badhabits of eatingand living and thatthese must be changed; that drugswill do him no good. He must begin by avoiding all starchy foods,as potatoes, ice, oatmeal, beans,etc. Meats, soft bojled eggs, milktoast, zwieback, etc., are the best*bods for avoiding fermentation andthe gas that causes dyspeptic pains.In serious cases .buttermilk is oneof the best dependencies. Anotheris boiled milk -with a slight additionof limeyater. Either of these willenable 'the most chronic dyspepticto procure some sustenance withoutserious distress. He should drink'freely of hot water, at least twoquarts a day, always taking a glasshalf an hour before mealtime. Heshould not cro.wd his meals close together, as with an impaired digestion, it -is often beat, to have themeals six or seven hours or moreapart. The rule to be followed isthat a new meal should not 'be eatenuntil the previous one .is digestedor out of the way and the stomachhas. had a littie rest,-and there Amstbe further rest after eating.It is absolutely essential to- eatslowly and qhew with the greatestthoroughness. Complete chewingin the mouth, permitting no washing down with coffee or tea, salivates the food so that it is ready fordigestion when it goes into thestomach, and persistence in thepractice will put good flesh on anylean dyspeptic. Thire is a tlierythat when solid food is chewed inthe mnouth to an absolute pulp theorganas in the back of the nouthexercise a selective action and sendto the stomach only that which isfitted to be converted into blood andtissue, this relieving the digestiveorgans of handling the waste.Whether or not this is correct is forthe science of the future to det'ermine. Certain it is that nature gaveus grinding teeth for the purpose ofchewing our food and never intended that we should swallow it unchewed, as do those animals havingmore than one stomach.-Ch arlesIt. Cochrane in Metropolitan Magazine.Living Snow.One of the most curious sights innorthwestern Canada is that of living snowv. There a curious phenomenon is seen in the appearanceof millions of minute black insectswvhen a thaw occurs. During thewinter the snow is dry and crisp,like sand, and nothing whatevercan be discovered of these insects,but as soon as *a thaw comes theyare found everywvhere in largepatches, looking like a dusting ofsoot. They are generally known assnow fleas, or jumpers, and haveslight hopping powers, being able toleap three or four inches. They entirely disappear when it freezesagain, and not a trace of them canbe fond. They do not fall withthe snow, as* there may have beenrio snow .for a month or more before their arrival, and are probablysomething similar to the "red snow"of the arctic regions.-Dundee Advertiser.Her Contract.A wealthy wvidowv was about tomarry a widower whose sole possession consisted of a family ofsmall 'children.
